Overview
ERohtak is a multi-platform local-business listing system that onboarded 100+ businesses and improved sales by ~20%. The platform helps local vendors expand their digital presence with a mobile-first approach.
What It Is
ERohtak is a local discovery platform for Rohtak — a city in Haryana, India — where residents find shops, services, and businesses in one place. Each listing includes contact details, categories, photos, and location context so customers can discover and reach vendors quickly.
The product spans web and mobile: a responsive Next.js site at erohtak.com plus a React Native app for on-the-go browsing. A Node.js + MongoDB backend powers listings, search, and vendor onboarding.
Who It's For
- Local shop owners & service providers who need an online presence without building their own website
- Residents and students searching for restaurants, salons, tutors, repair shops, and everyday services nearby
- Small businesses that want measurable footfall and inquiry growth from digital listings
How It Works
- Vendor onboarding — Businesses register, add category, photos, hours, and contact info.
- Discovery — Users browse by category or search; listings are optimized for mobile screens.
- Engagement — Direct call, WhatsApp, or map links drive real-world visits and orders.
- Quality — Jest tests cover critical flows so listing updates and search stay reliable as the catalog grows.
Key Features
- Business Listings: Easy onboarding for 100+ local vendors with rich profiles and categories.
- Sales Boost: Vendors reported ~20% increase in sales after joining the platform.
- Responsive UI: Mobile-first design with ~35% improvement in engagement across devices.
- Cross-platform: Shared logic between React web and React Native mobile experiences.
- Testing: Jest unit and integration tests for listing CRUD, search, and core user flows.
- Performance: Optimized images and lazy loading for fast loads on low-end phones.
- Future Plans: Secure payments, vendor analytics dashboard, and further ~30% performance optimization.
Why I Built This
Rohtak has hundreds of small businesses with little or no web presence. I built ERohtak to give them a free, structured listing that actually drives customers — not just a directory page, but a product designed for how people search on phones.
